Evaluation of serum lipids in preeclampsia: a comparative study

Abstract: Background: Preeclampsia occurs in 7 to 10% of pregnancies worldwide. At present most, popular theory is an oxidative stress. Abnormal lipid profiles and species may have a role in promotion of oxidative stress and vascular dysfunction seen in pre-eclampsia. Objectives of this study was carried out to evaluate lipid profile in subjects with preeclampsia and to compare lipid profile in subjects of preeclampsia as compared to normal pregnant women.Methods: A comparative longitudinal study was conducted under the… Show more

“…About 31.4% of women with PIH were found above the baseline value. This finding is in agreement with the study done by a few researchers 31–33 . This may associate with insulin resistance in HTN disorder in pregnancy that suppresses lipoprotein lipase activity and will increase free fatty acid mobilization from visceral adipocytes 34 .…”

“…This finding is in agreement with the study done by a few researchers. [31][32][33] This may associate with insulin resistance in HTN disorder in pregnancy that suppresses lipoprotein lipase activity and will increase free fatty acid mobilization from visceral adipocytes. 34 This could highlight hypercholesterolemia in HTN disorders during pregnancy.…”

“…Serum LDL was also found to be significantly elevated (p value 0.005) in women who developed GH or PE in later pregnancy (p value 0.005) in our study (Table 2). This observation of our study is in corroboration with other studies [19,31,32] . Sensitivity of LDL to detect hypertensive disease was estimated to be 60% and specificity 56.66% in our study.…”

“…There are many facts that show lipid profile abnormalities might be associated with the risk of preeclampsia. Lipid profiles such as: TG, LDL-c, total cholesterol (TC) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels are higher in pre-eclamptic women as compared with normal pregnancies, but high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level is lower in pre-eclamptic women as compared with normal pregnancies [7][8][9]. Lipid profile abnormalities increases as the gestational age of the mother increases.…”

“…Different studies have tried to elucidate the association between the maternal serum lipid profiles and pre-eclampsia, but many of them have reported conflicting results. Some studies have shown higher levels of lipid profiles in pre-eclamptic women as compared to normotensive pregnant women [ 9 , 11 13 ]. However, a few studies have found non-significant difference in the serum levels of maternal lipid profiles between pre-eclamptic and normotensive pregnant women [ 14 , 15 ] and few other reports indicated lower serum lipid profiles in pre-eclamptic women as compared to normotensive controls.…”
